On the way to the top

Here we go.

Lot of advancements happened.
First of all, the member's number. Due to the agressive email marketing, we got 248 members now. Thats a number :)

In a top100-type site the members gives the stabile, daily vistors. It is because the are in competition to be in the first 3 of the list. Today our top three are the Exodus WoW Server, Extreme Mob Wars, Crimson Moon.

The other source, the search engines are a dependent part. Situation is, that the more members you have on the top100 site, the more backlinks you have, so you are in better place in SEs. That means more visitors.

My problem is that the biggest game sites, like Imperia Online, Galactic Imperia, Aegis, Toxic WoW, Omerta and so on, don't want to waste their votes on a small but fast growing site, like MMORPG X TOP100.

So, it is Devil's Circle : the more member you have the better place in Search Engines, and the better place in Search Engines, the bigger and more vote-giver members coming.
I think the best method to start a top100 site, is first find members, and reach a general position in search engines. (My site is 3rd for 'mmorpg top100', 'mmorpg toplist', but only 14th for 'mmorpg list' and it is not in the first 900 for 'mmorpg')
After you got enough members, starts the 2nd phase, you can start the strong SEO, and try to make your site better placed. And that's all : as your site gets better and better places, the bigger games finds you worthy to join, and on a nice morning you wake up as your site is in the top 3 topsites, with millions of visitors monthly :)

That's all for now, see ya
